Editorial Reviews

Patricelli’s trademark style of thick black lines on brushstroke-heavy backgrounds in jewel-tone colors are perfectly suited to her playful and irreverent subject matter. The young protagonist narrates both offerings in simple, direct sentences, and Patricelli fills the rest of the books with captions and sound effects galore... [A] playful delight...
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Little listeners will delight in the book’s celebration of the joys of body noise. ... For families willing to have some flatulence-themed fun, this is a must-have.
—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

From the Publisher

03/01/2014
It's a plain fact: bodily functions and the sounds they make are funny. In Patricelli's latest, a toddler joyfully discovers his ability to, well, toot. He toots like a train, he toots on his trike, he toots in music class. Even better, the little tooter discovers that everyone does it—even mom and dad. What a gas!—Kiera Parrott, School Library Journal
